Ex-Seahawks Fan Favorite Clearly Told ALL Parties Involved: “I Want Seattle Seahawks” — The Message Was STRONG
Seattle, WA – The Seattle Seahawks are flying high with playoff ambitions, but cracks in their depth chart at safety are beginning to show. With injuries piling up and looming free agency decisions ahead, the team may soon need reinforcements in the secondary.
Emmanwori has missed Weeks 1–4 with a high-ankle sprain, forcing Coby Bryant to play 100% of snaps at free safety. That leaves little margin for error. If Julian Love or Bryant were to miss time — a real concern given Jamal Adams’ long injury history in 2024 — Seattle’s backups are thin. Jerrick Reed and Jonathan Finley combined for just six defensive snaps last season, hardly reassuring for a contending roster.
The financial picture complicates things further. Bryant is headed for free agency in 2026 and could command upwards of $10M per year. Veteran Myles Jenkins, meanwhile, is a potential cap casualty who could be released to save $2M. All of this means the Seahawks must start planning for the future of the safety position — and one familiar name has loudly made his intentions clear.
Ryan Neal, a beloved former Seahawk who starred from 2019 to 2022, has spoken out with a powerful message: “I told everyone — I want Seattle Seahawks. This is where I grew, where I became a player fans could believe in. Pay me less if you have to, just give me one more chance in blue and green.”
Neal isn’t just another name on the market. He rose from the practice squad to become a hidden gem, delivering a breakout 2022 season with 66 tackles, 1 interception, and First-Team All-Pro honors from PFF. He stepped up brilliantly when Jamal Adams went down, making clutch plays — including a game-sealing interception against the Cowboys in 2020 — that cemented his place in Seahawks lore.
Fans still remember Neal fondly, often calling him a “fan favorite” and “great player” for his toughness, leadership, and big-play ability. On Reddit, a dedicated thread with over 100 upvotes praised him as “a hidden gem,” and even Seahawks.com ran a special
Now, with Seattle’s safety room stretched thin and long-term questions looming, the call for Neal grows louder. For a team chasing stability and a Super Bowl run, bringing back a player who embodies grit, trust, and fan passion could be the perfect answer.
